Pastoralist Forum Ethiopia

Member since: 2018

Working towards these commitments

Recognize and protect the diverse tenure and production systems upon which people’s livelihoods depend, including the communal and customary tenure systems of smallholders, indigenous peoples, pastoralists, fisher folks, and holders of overlapping, shifting and periodic rights to land and other natural resources, even when these are not recognized by law, and whilst also acknowledging that the well-being of resource-users may be affected by changes beyond the boundaries of the land to which they have tenure rights.

Diverse Tenure Systems

Enable the role of local land users in territorial and ecosystem management, recognizing that sustainable development and the stewardship of ecosystems are best achieved through participatory decision-making and management at the territorial-level, empowering local land users and their communities with the authority, means and incentives to carry out this responsibility.
6

Locally-managed ecosystems

Ensure that processes of decision-making over land are inclusive, so that policies, laws, procedures and decisions concerning land adequately reflect the rights, needs and aspirations of individuals and communities who will be affected by them. This requires the empowerment of those who otherwise would face limitations in representing their interests, particularly through support to land users' and other civil society organizations that are best able to inform, mobilize and legitimately represent marginalized land users, and their participation in multi-stakeholder platforms for policy dialogue.

Inclusive decision-making

Mission

The mission statement of PFE is to bring positive changes in the livelihoods of pastoralist through own and members’ capacity building, promoting commercialization and entrepreneurship, research and technology transfer, networking and partnership, good governance and climate change adaptation.

Objectives

The Forum objectives are to promote pastoral potentials (natural, social, and human capitals) more than pastoral limitations (drought, conflict, poverty, etc) for sustainable and transformative pastoral development, represent and promote our member charities and harness positive engagement with the FDRE Government organs and development partners on the domain of pastoralism and CSO.

Constituencies

Pastoralist Forum Ethiopia (PFE) is a consortium of Ethiopian residents and foreign charities and legally registered by the Charities and Societies Agency under the Ministry of Federal and Pastoralist Development Affairs (MoFPDA). PFE was established in response to the resolutions made by the Ethiopian Somali and the Oromo (Borana and Gudji) pastoralist elders during their breakthrough conference of 1996. At present, the Forum constitutes 28 charities of which 10 are foreign charities to develop empowered pastoralist enjoying sustainable development.
